For an informative nonfiction book, Evicted was immensely readable. I couldn't help but turn each page, hoping for each tenant to find a stable home. I also found myself increasingly disgusted by both landlords and the criminal justice system for their ability to take away a basic human right (shelter) with seeming ease or even righteousness.
Another aspect of Evicted that I enjoyed was Desmond's postscript regarding how he conducted the research for this book. I had wondered how involved he'd become in the lives of the folks that he followed and I appreciated his addressing that question. I think that Desmond's explanation of ethnography was fascinating and I was also pleased to read that he had developed genuine friendships with a lot of the interviewees.
